Earth Day is a time to renew our commitment to be good stewards of God’s creation and to seek justice in relationship with neighbor and creation. There is a movement towards this commitment and relationship powered by people of faith taking action as advocates and as church. 

Earth Day this year is Monday, April 22, 2024. Mark your calendars! 

We encourage you to consider integrating creation care into your worship, faith formation programming, vigils, learning opportunities, and advocacy during this season and during all seasons. 

LAMPa will provide education and advocacy resources for Earth Day Sunday 2024, including for hosting a vigil, so stay tuned for details. 

Lutherans Restoring Creation has held Earth Day worship services in the past and facilitates relationships among Lutherans engaging in the work and practices of restoring creation. Check out their five ways to celebrate Earth Day as church here. You can also view materials, including video recordings of past Earth Day services, on their website. 

In the spirit of continually reforming as Lutherans, loving and caring for all of creation, and living in the teachings of our Social Statement “Caring for Creation: Vision, Hope, and Justice,” Lutherans Restoring Creation has also created Five Theses for Earth Day. 

Let us know what you are doing in your synod, congregation, and community by sending a note to LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org. We at LAMPa would be happy to engage with you and to share advocacy resources to support our collective care for creation on Earth Day.
